Creating Lucius and collaborating with Paul Mescal on "Gladiator II" was an incredible experience. Witnessing his commitment and the immense talent he brought to the set was truly inspiring. From tattoo cover, a deep tan, wounds, scars, blood, branding, casualties, sweat, and dirt, multiple makeup changes to batting the elements—Paul gave it all. He was even covered head-to-toe in a custom mercury-effect base.
